    An Awesome Sports Fan Rant

    A few instances of strong language but it is a great read:

    I don't think that is the complete URL; it's not working.

      Add an "ml" at the end, Hank...

      This will work.

        Thanks for the link. I find it hard to believe someone can take a sports game that seriously (unless a big bet was placed). That guy probably flails his arms and yells at his TV when a game doesn't go his way.

          I did, and I did it a second time. Then after you posted this, I tried it a third time and still came up empty. The link below that you provided did work though. Thanks!

            "Wow" is all I can say to that.
            If you can read this you assembled wrong.

              In answer to Cabinetman's remarks; if you lived in the UK for any length of time you would understand that most Brit men would not be half as angry if you stole their car or even the wife as opposed to their favorite team not performing, and especially perhaps losing to a less-rated team. Over there, football is like religion, no; it is a religion!

                I think you mean 'soccer' is a religion. Football is played with a funny-shaped brown ball, not a round black and white one.

                  You have obviously never been to in a Texas cafe on Saturday morning after the local high school game, or in Austin or College Station for the Thanksgiving weekend A&M vs t.u. game, or Dallas for Texas - OU night.

                    No Crokett; not to be judgmental but "soccer" is an American version of English "football". "Rugby" is played with that funny shaped football but a group of very large, crazy Brits who do not wear any padding and are intent on field level madness.
